Standard Solution | Vertical Carousel

Kardex Remstar Megamat® RS

Automated, vertical carousels for efficient, tailor-made
storage and retrieval processes
Standard Solution | Vertical Carousel
Kardex Remstar Megamat RS:
The best of both worlds. The fusion
of progress and tradition in storage
technology
The Megamat RS is an automated vertical carousel using the paternoster principle.
It uses the “goods to person” concept for goods with a high picking frequency.
Principle
Based on the way in which a paternoster
works, the Megamat RS is an automated
vertical carousel that provides quick and
precise access to stored goods. The
Megamat RS is especially suitable for
frequently accessed goods, because it
conveys the right carrier to the access
opening via the shortest possible path.
The design of the Megamat RS offers
maximum storage space on a minimal
footprint. This facilitates efficiently de-
signed work processes and also signifi-
cantly raises productivity. The
Megamat RS can easily be installed as a
freestanding vertical carousel or integrat-
ed into a building over several floors up to
a height of ten metres with more than
one access opening. Each Megamat RS
can be used as a stand-alone solution or
connected to a networked system, there-
2
by ensuring supreme efficiency, flexibility
and individuality. The Kardex Remstar
Megamat RS is a secure investment in
the future.
Energy-saving technology
Instead of recovering energy, avoid using
it in the first place. Thanks to the perfect
interaction between the electric motor,
highly efficient transmission and preci-
sion-calibrated frequency converter, the
Megamat RS now consumes up to
40 per cent less energy, thereby signifi-
cantly cutting life cycle costs (TCO).
Control system and software
The Megamat RS is equipped with the
Logicontrol® machine control system,
which also provides a simple way of en-
tering the world of software-supported
warehouse management. That’s because
managing storage locations, articles and
stock – the classic tasks of any ware-
house management software – is possi-
ble with Logicontrol without the need for
additional expense and hardware. As a
result, even operators of small, less
complex storage spaces or stand-alone
solutions now have the opportunity to
optimise their material flow. With the
“drive and view” feature, the system can
also run without warehouse management.
By optionally using Kardex Remstar
Power Pick® Global software or other
warehouse management systems, it is
possible to permanently optimise stor-
age spaces, stock and order picking per-
formance. The orders are guided safely,
quickly and precisely through the ware-
house with the help of Power Pick Global
and are promptly made available for
shipping.
Furthermore, higher-level ERP and host
systems can easily be connected at any
time via standard interfaces. Thanks to
its extremely fast access times, the
Megamat RS is particularly suited to the
“drive and view” feature and picking small
parts. Bar code solutions, position indi-
cators and pick-to-light technology can
also be integrated via standard interfaces.
Safety
With its multilevel safety concept, the
Megamat RS provides the best-possible
protection for man, machine and stored
goods. Thanks to the protection equip-
ment fitted as standard in the access
opening of the storage system, such as
the safety light curtain, the operator is
optimally protected against accidents in
the workplace. Stored goods can be se-
cured against unauthorised access and
theft with the help of the lockable
smooth-running sliding door. It is also
possible to protect the entire unit or cer-
tain areas against unauthorised access
by issuing individual passwords or using
RFID chips for identifying employees.
To ensure maximum safety,
Kardex Remstar has equipped the
new Megamat RS with four
impressive features:
– Emergency hand crank
Even in the event of a power outage,
the emergency hand crank provides
access to stored products at all times.
– Automatic chain tensioner
The new chain tensioner significantly
reduces the susceptibility of the load
chain to wear and tear. The result is a
reliable and long-lasting storage system.
– Smooth-running sliding door
The lockable sliding door moves espe-
cially smoothly. It can be operated au-
tomatically or manually and can even
be opened with one hand, thereby
guaranteeing ease of use and ensuring
that employees can continue working
uninterrupted.
– Clip system
The innovative Kardex Remstar clip
system allows for simple, fast and ex-
tremely safe assembly of the panels.
The increased system stability guar-
antees maximum protection both for
stored goods and on-site employees.
Benefits at a glance:
– High cycle speed – fast access to
all stored goods
– Increased storage space thanks to
highly dense storage facility
– Able to keep pace with new inno-
vations and future developments
thanks to the modular system
structure
– Maximum use of space on a
minimal footprint
– Extensive safety features and

Megamat RS 180 Megamat RS 350 Megamat RS 650

Efficient storage and fast retrieval of
lightweight loads
The Megamat RS 180 is mostly suitable
for the orderly storage and picking of
textiles or small parts in containers –
for instance in the hotel and medical
sectors, in vehicle manufacturing and

electronics industry.
Ideal for medium-sized loads
The Megamat RS 350 is the perfect so-
lution for storing and retrieving compo-
nents, tools and spare parts. Among the
wide range of possible applications, each
carrier can be loaded with up to 350 kg.
For heavy loads of up to 650 kg
per carrier
The Megamat RS 650 can be used in a
variety of different areas. For instance, it
can be integrated in the production pro-
cess in a number of ways – either as an
interim storage solution for semi-finished
products or as a storage buffer during
drying phases.

All units in the Megamat RS series can also be supplied for use in controlled areas, such as air-conditioned rooms,
drying rooms or clean rooms. Furthermore, we are also able to supply special fire protection solutions.
